If you decide to build on the 3" platform later you can add spacers and a shackle to get more height and youll still be in good shape.. Youll need arms with anything over about 3.5" (just lowers...you wont NEED uppers). At 3 inches all you really need is coils, shocks, and leafs. 3" is a decent starting platform for a dd/weekend warrior.

 

thanks guys, will be a tourer more than a hardcore truck, so leaving it sensible and reliable

 

Lol i was the first one to comment on his thread saying just use what the kit gave him lol

 

What about trac bar? Stock work on3"?

 

Yup

 

ill be ordering an adjustable track bar just to be safe

 

I just put a 3" high country lift on my xj plus a set of 33x12.50. Now it has a horrible wobble at 45mph and 70mph. Any thoughts?

 

First off Rough/Tuff country is junk... the wobble is probably your steering parts beginning to fail... trac bar, tre..

 

What's junk about it? Explain please. Seemed nice and sturdy to me.

 

Not to mention I'm a poor man. Lol. Anything I can do to make it the high country lift better?

 

I meant to say Rough Country not High Country! High Country make bows! LMBO!

 

Rough Country, Tuff country, im suprised there isnt a high country...regardless they are the same. Short leaves...leads to basically no rear articulation, GOD awful shocks...just a cheaper kit. I ran RC..never broke anything but it really rode **** poor, and I had such limited rear flex...If you decide to put more into it later you can invest in relocation boxes for your shakles, and invest in some decent control arms and better shocks. As far as the wobble, id suspect your trac bar, or your TRE's

 

Cool thanx

 

I run a 2.5 in lift. with no swaybars. I had to extend the brake lines front and rear.

I set the lift up for a lot of droop. So don't know if this will apply to you?

 

Im 3.5 and I didn't do anything to my break lines...I don't get it at 2.5...
